Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

The land was covered in ice and snow, and the wind was biting cold.

In temperatures below -10 degrees Celsius.

Luffy carried Nami on his back and hurried towards the highest mountain peak ahead.

Because the temperature was too low and Nami was extremely weak, Luffy kept talking to her to prevent her from falling into a coma.

Falling asleep in sub-zero temperatures is extremely dangerous.

"Nami, are you cold? If you are, hug me tighter, we'll be there soon."

As Luffy ran through the snow, which was several tens of centimeters deep, he spoke to Nami, who was clinging to his back.

Nami looked pained and weak, her body extremely powerless.

Luffy felt her hand on his shoulder tighten slightly.

Then, a faint smile appeared on his pained face as he spoke in an extremely weak voice.

"Luffy... Luffy, I'm so happy!"

"If... I could just die like this, I would be content!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately cursed angrily.

"Fool!"

"You are my navigator, I will not let you die."

"You are no different. As my navigator, you are not allowed to die without my permission!"

Nami's pained face showed an even wider smile.

"Do I need your permission to die? This is...unreasonable!"

As Nami spoke, she pressed her face tightly against Luffy's back, closed her eyes, and curved them into crescent shapes.

...

"Nami, are you asleep?"

"...No..."

"Nami, we're almost there!"

"..."

"Did you hear that, Nami?"

"...I...heard!"

...

woohoo...

The cold wind howled, and the snow fell heavily.

Suddenly, countless rabbits, each as big as a bear, appeared in front of Luffy.

Their pupils were all red, filled with rage, and their claws were as sharp as knife tips.

Looking at the tiny humans before them, the rabbits' lips curled up, their eyes showing the excitement and amusement of seeing prey.

One of them called out with a unique cry, and all the rabbits went berserk, swooping down from the mountain.

Click!

Click!

boom!

boom!

Along the way, there were trees and rocks destroyed by them everywhere.

Amidst the swirling snowflakes, pebbles, twigs, and wood chips danced in the air.

As these rabbits get closer and closer to Luffy.

Suddenly, hundreds of frenzied rabbits leaped up, their eyes glowing red with excitement and amusement.

"roll!"

Luffy suddenly looked up and roared angrily.

Suddenly, an unparalleled aura erupted, sweeping across an area of ​​tens of kilometers.

For a moment, the entire forest fell into silence.

Meanwhile, Dalton and his guards, along with all the villagers, stared in horror and shock in the direction Luffy had left, as if they had seen a ghost.

Although Luffy's Conqueror's Haki wasn't directed at them, the aura he exuded was incredibly powerful and awe-inspiring.

With the rabbit threat eliminated, Luffy continued on his way.

"Nami, say something."

"...I...I wasn't asleep!"

...

Cross the forest and deal with the rabbits.

They survived another avalanche and finally climbed a 5,000-meter-high mountain in the biting cold wind.

Luffy finally brought Nami to the castle.

After sensing the two auras with his Observation Haki, he immediately led Nami through the door and found the room inside the castle.

Crunch!

The door to the room was pushed open.

Luffy's voice then rang out.

"Please...treat the patient behind me!"

As Luffy spoke, he began to untie the ropes binding him, preparing to lower Nami down.

Meanwhile, inside the room...

An elderly woman, Dr. Kureha, wearing sunglasses and with many wrinkles on her skin, and a little reindeer, Chopper, wearing a hat and with a blue nose...

They were both taken aback when they saw the person who suddenly barged in.

next second.

Chopper suddenly reacted as if he had been electrocuted, and quickly ran behind Dr. Kureha.

Then, using its unique hiding posture, it exposed most of its body and peeked at Luffy.

Dr. Kureha also snapped out of her daze at this point.

Looking at Luffy's filthy clothes and frostbitten body, she couldn't help but marvel and asked.

"You...you didn't come from that road in Ulubang, through the forest, and then climbed the mountain, did you?!"

Luffy had already untied Nami and brought her to the two of them in his arms.

"That's not important."

"You need to treat her quickly."

"She has been sick for several days and looks very ill."

Upon seeing a patient, Chopper immediately stopped hiding and his expression turned serious.

"Bring her here quickly!"

...

In a room.

Luffy sat on a stool, while Chopper was extremely tense, constantly on guard against Luffy, yet focused on treating the frostbite on his hands.

On the bed next to her, Nami, whose condition had improved considerably, was sleeping soundly.

Dr. Kureha sat on the other side, holding a bottle of liquor, her eyes fixed on Luffy, and began to speak.

"She was bitten by a bug called a 'Kaski'."

"This is a poisonous parasite that generally only lives in hot and humid forests. After being bitten by it, it will remain dormant in the body for five days."

"The patient will die suddenly five days later."

As she spoke, Dr. Kureha took a sip of her drink.

"You guys are really lucky. Judging from the wounds, today is only the third day."

Listening to Dr. Kureha's words, Luffy realized that Nami must have been bitten by these insects by accident in the Little Garden.

However, seeing that her complexion had improved considerably, I felt much better and thanked Dr. Kureha.

"Thank you, Dr. Kureha."

Then, Luffy looked at Chopper and smiled slightly.

"Thank you too, Chopper!"

Chopper was taken aback when he heard this.

next second...

Its body swayed like seaweed.

His eyes were squinted, the corners of his mouth were turned up, and his whole body radiated happiness.

"So annoying! So annoying!"

"Humans...how could they possibly thank me?!"

"Do not make jokes."

Hehehehe...

Seeing Chopper's expression, Luffy couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm thanking you, Chopper!"

Chopper's body swayed even more violently.

"Damn it, you idiot."

Even if you say that, I won't be happy.

"I'm not happy!"

Hehehehe...

Luffy couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Chopper.

At this moment, Dr. Kureha suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"Who are you people? Why would you go to a place with those kinds of insects? Under normal circumstances, that kind of environment is not suitable for human habitation at all."

Luffy replied casually.

"We are pirates."

Upon hearing this, Chopper suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with curiosity, and asked Luffy.

"You...you guys are really pirates?"

"it is true."

"Do you have a flag with a skull... a skull?"

"Yes, it's hanging on the boat."

After answering Chopper's question, Luffy suddenly asked another.

"Chopper, you're really interested in pirates, aren't you?!"

Upon hearing this, Chopper jumped back like a startled rabbit, his body tense and sweating, his eyes almost bulging out, and he screeching with bared teeth.

"No way, you idiot! No! You idiot!"

Luffy looked at the expression on his face, smiled, and said.
